Hair Extension

Whether you want to add instant length, thickness, or both – hair extensions are now one of the most popular services our salon offers. Long locks can be added to increase length, shorter sections can boost body and volume – or individual additions like a new fringe can give you a completely different look altogether. Jyl Craven Hair Design is undeniably north Georgia’s best salon for hair extensions. With our experts guiding you every step of the way, changing your look has never been so easy.

LOX are applied without wax, heat, glue or tape which results in little to no damage to the natural hair.

LOX are perfect for anyone and look great on everyone.

LOX hair extensions are 100 percent Remy human hair and designed specifically for real women with real lives. Unlike other brands that cannot be adjusted once bonded to the hair, LOX extensions are applied using the LOX Loop Method. This application is superior because it delivers less damage when the hair gets readjusted from re-growth.

Which extensions are best for your lifestyle?

The method we choose to apply your extensions depends on many things that will be discussed during your consultation. Our trained stylists will look at the condition of your hair, scalp and talk to you about your lifestyle and leisure activities. A maintenance regime that suits your lifestyle will also be discussed during your consultation.

Application Methods include Wefts and Single Strands

LOX™ WEFTS are human hairs that are precisely hand sewn onto a very small seamless mesh strip. The wefts design mimics the look and flexibility of the human scalp. Silicone lined aluminum and zinc beads are hand sewn to the weft and applied to the hair using the LOX™Loop Method.

Single Strand Extension Application Process

Other brands typically cannot be readjusted once bonded into the hair. This service ensures less damage to the natural hair.

Brushing & Styling

After washing the hair, towel dry well, blot with towel (avoiding scrubbing motions with towel) until the hair feels damp, but not dripping wet. All products are applied from the ends to the root, making sure your are evenly distributing the product and scrunching it into the hair. Use a cream based corseting gel product that has a subtle hold factor. Use a generous amount since you will need more product to compensate for the additional hair. Next, layer a piecing fiber paste into the hair. These products will set the curl with a medium hold, allowing the hair more separation.

It is now time to style. You may use jaw clips to clip up a section on the top of the head or crown. This will give more volume in that area. Let air dry for about 15-20 minutes: You may also flip your head up-side-down, or tilt your head on each side.

Begin to diffuse the hair with high heat and low pressure, this will cut down on frizz and enhance curl. Put large amounts of hair in the diffuser working it in small circular motions. Do this until the hair is 50 % dry.

At this time you can work a large hand-full of lightweight mousse from the ends to the base, which will enhance curl and promote softness. Diffuse until 90% – 100% dry.
